Sweet Potato Pancakes / Waffles

Sweet potatoes are an amazing Superfood and I feel so guilty that I hated them my whole childhood, especially growing up in the south where they're a staple! Sorry Mom! Thanksgiving sure would have been easier if I cared what I ate back then. I don’t think I eve gave them a fair try!

I highly recommend to get your kids involved because this is easy and quick! And who doesn’t love delegating cooking AND dishes?!?! Ummm, yes, please! These make the perfect pre-workout / post-workout meal, especially if you’re following Timed Nutrition!

Ingredients:
1 cooked sweet potato, peeled and steamed (1 yellow container)
2 eggs
Leafy greens (Kale, Arugula or Spinach would all be tasty!) 1 green container
Vanilla, optional (I did not use)
Salt, optional (I did not use)
1 tsp Olive Oil

Directions:
1) Peel and steam potatoes. Make sure to poke holes in potatoes so they don’t explode in the microwave.
2) Measure out 1 green of leafy vegetable you chose and set aside.
3) Crack 2 eggs, or pour 8 egg whites, into serving bowl and add steamed potato and mash / mix together.
4) Fold in leafy greens.
5) Pour mixture into heated and oiled pan.
6) Cook 3-4 minutes and serve as is, with Himalayan Sea Salt or Creamy Roasted Peanut Butter on top. Make sure to track it!!
